to get ready. In about an hour, we’re both out of the house and in the car. It’s a beautiful day out, and when I ask Connor what he’s up to, he smiles and tells me to trust him. We drive for an hour and things are fun between Connor and me. We’re laughing, and he holds my hand throughout the entire car ride.
I’m not sure where we are , but the town is cute, and there are a lot of shops nearby. Suddenly, he pulls into a bed and breakfast, and I start jumping up and down in my seat. “Connor! Oh my gosh!”
He parks the car and comes over to my side to open the door for me. “Come on , sweetheart.” I take his hand and we head inside.
It’s cute in here and feels homey. There’s an older lady at the counter , and she greets us with a smile. “How can I help you?”
“Are there any rooms available?”
“Certainly.” She gives us some information about the bed and breakfast, and Connor tells her we’ll take a room for the night. “Enjoy, you two,” she winks.
We walk up the stairs and toward our room. When we get inside, I start squealing. There’s a large bed with rose petals on the bed and a balcony overlooking the park. It’s beautiful inside, and I’m so excited to be here with him. Connor comes behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He rests his chin on top of my head, and I lean back into him.
“It’s just us tonight. I’m sorry that I’ve been away from you , but I promise that I’ll try. I don’t want to lose you, Erin. You’re my world—you and our baby.”
Hearing the words coming from his mouth makes me realize how much I love him and how silly I’ve been acting. “We’ll make it through everything. Now let me show you how much I miss you.”

Today is my first day back after being on bed rest. Doctor Benson wants me to take it slow and if I start feeling crappy again, to come see her. By the time I’m up, Connor’s already gone. He left me a note saying how he didn’t want to wake me up and to have a great day.
So far, I’m feeling great and there’s no sign of being dizzy or sick. I get ready, make breakfast smoothie, and I’m out the door. I walk into the office with a smile on my face. Today, I meet with Albert to go over how I’m doing and some other little things. I’m ready to tell him I want to do more and that I’m ready. I pass by Stacey and Alisha, waving to the girls. They’re so nice and I love working with them. When I get to my cubicle, I turn on my computer and place my purse on the side. After a few minutes of preparing for my day, Albert messages me to come to his office so we can talk.
“Good morning, Ms. Costella. How are you on this fine Monday morning? Are you feeling okay?”
“Peachy, Mr. Stanley, and yourself?” I love talking to him. He’s so easy going and laid back. Everyone loves working for Albert. He’s fair and doesn’t bullshit with you, which I love. I hate people that beat around the bush. So annoying.
“Well, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. If you need anything, Erin, please just ask. We want you healthy.”
“I know , Albert, and I appreciate it so much.”
He laughs . “Alright, enough of that mushy crap.” He pulls out a file and looks through the papers. “I’m really impressed with you, Erin. Everything looks great, and you’re making the agency look good. I like that.” He looks at me, and smiles. “I have no worries about you. Now, go back out there and see what appointments you have.”
“Thanks , Albert!” I leave his office with a smile on my face. I’m glad that he’s noticing all of my hard work and dedication. When I get back to my computer, I check my emails and set up a few more appointments.
My phone rings , and I see that it’s Stacey calling. “Hey girl, what’s up?”
“You have a visitor! It’s Sophia , and she said she wants to get food and for you to hurry up.”
I laugh into the phone . “Okay! Tell her I’ll be there in three minutes.” I lock my
